In this day and age, trust is huge. Sometimes you have to go out on a limb, take a chance with a business and hope for the best. This is what i did here and the reason i did this is because of prior yelp reviews which i consider huge! My van broke down. My son's replaced the alternator and battery which saved me a great deal of money but they just couldn't figure out why the battery wasn't getting a charge from the alternator. My next choice was to take this to a shop or dealer which didn't sound very attractive to me. So I looked for what are becoming more and more available to people...traveling mechanics. They come to you. Now, i was very particular in finding one that I wanted to try. Enter Brian McClurg or the Traveling Tech. From the get go, he had clear communication, was friendly when my husband called. My husband explained the situation to him and he arranged to come out the next day. The next day, since he was helping a prior client, he wasn't able to make this time but was very clear in communicated that he still wanted to come out even though it was later. We appreciated that he still kept our appointment and even came out when it was close to getting dark. He showed up, repeated what the issue was (that we had told him about), stepped up the van and I kid you not within 5 minutes he knew what it was. He stated that he would research where to get the part, order it, then come back and fix it. After this, I mentioned that I was told by a prior mechanic, that there was an oil leak somewhere. He proceeded to start looking around the engine and showed me various points where indeed there is oil. He didn't push me to as if to say, you better get this done now, but stated that it would need to get done as soon as we could do this. He offered to get a quote back to us and let us know what the cost would be. The next day he stayed in touch with me and let me know that the part had been ordered and that it would be in place in a few days. It was, he came back out and put the part in, tested the van to make sure it was working correctly and yes my van is fixed. He also got back to us with a quote and folks, it's incredible reasonable. All I have to say is, and my husband agrees, this guy knows his way around car repairs and he's trustworthy and gets the job done. We plan on having him do repairs on my van asap. Do yourself a favor and give him a shot, you won't regret it. read more
